inflation benefits borrowers. should all families who borrowed for a house be forced to pay those who chose to save?

  > inflation benefits borrowers. Not if the price of living increases at a greater rate than the rate of return it doesn't. Which, as you would know, it is doing.

    that makes no sense. both borrowers and savers have to live, they both get hit by the cost of living. savers don't get to avoid eating and paying for healthcare just because they don't borrow.

  > inflation benefits borrowers Not really, because lenders factor inflation into their rates.

    Wouldn't it be great if inflation aligned with price increases then.
